St Joseph’s sanctuary of the Carmelite friars in Poznan made a minor basilica

The conventual church of the Discalced Carmelite friars in Poznan, Poland, was proclaimed a minor basilica on the 19th of March, this year, at a solemn ceremony at which presided Archbishop Gądecki, accompanied by various members of the secular clergy and various male and female religious. Present also were the civil authorities and a large group of faithful from the city.

The Provincial, Fr Jan Piotr Malicki, was also present at the ceremony, accompanied by a good number of Carmelite religious.

We share the joy of our brothers and sisters of the Warsaw Province and pray that the new basilica may become a centre point for spread of devotion to Saint Joseph and evangelization.
